WWE Hall of Famer Booker T believes AEW has played out a smart business move by booking CM Punk's return match in Chicago.
Speaking on his podcast, Reality of Wrestling, Booker T stated that AEW's blockbuster signee CM Punk will benefit them in the longer run. He further heaped praise on Daniel Bryan, stating that he's an incredible in-ring performer, and his addition to the thriving AEW roster will be like Icing on the cake.
He further added that both former WWE superstars could kickstart a wrestling war like never seen before:
"To make a comeback for CM Punk it's huge but to make it in Chicago in his hometown, that's what I call a business. That's a business move, and you know Tony Khan and the Khan family, AEW would pull off something like that. It's big for the company any way you look it. And my boy Daniel Bryan, that's icing on the cake. They have a guy again like that Daniel Bryan on the roster, being able to work with anybody, you know, in the company that's the type of guy Daniel Bryan is. You can work with the smallest guy or the biggest guy. That's how knowledgeable Daniel Bryan is as far as the business goes. We've seen it as far as how talented he is. So, me personally, I'm looking forward to seeing, like I say this war play out man. I'm all about this war. At the end of the day, it's gonna be good. The bar will be at the highest level it's been in over 20 years as far as this business goes," Booker T said.
